    The guard captain with the rank of Major was suddenly startled. He had been with Chief of Staff Matsuda for many days, but he knew that the current Chief of Staff Matsuda, since Commander-in-Chief Umezu led the troops on the expedition, was the boss of the headquarters and had everything on hand.  There were many urgent military matters to be dealt with, and his office was always busy from morning to night!

    The captain of the guard felt that it was necessary to make it clear, so as not to delay the important military affairs. He also felt embarrassed, so he stood at attention and asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, is this everyone? Not even particularly urgent military affairs?"  "

    Lieutenant General Matsuda's mind was now filled with thoughts of immediately reporting the dangerous situation of the Manchurian war situation to the base camp and how to separate himself from right and wrong. Urgent military matters were not that important. There was no time to talk nonsense.  His face darkened and he said angrily: "Do you want me to repeat what I just said? No one or anything should disturb me within five hours!"

    The captain of the guard faithfully carried out the order of Chief of Staff Matsuda. Not only did he personally guard the door, but he also sent more than a dozen burly guards in front of the office door. They were loaded with guns and had a fleshy face and staring eyes. They looked like bull-headed and horse-faced people standing there.  At both ends of the corridor, no one is allowed to come even half a step closer to the office of His Excellency the Chief of Staff.

    Now is the time when the war situation in Manchuria is chaotic, precarious, and full of crises. Not to mention five hours, even fifty minutes, there will be countless telegrams flying to the Kwantung Army headquarters. Since Commander-in-Chief Umezu is not here, all the telegrams will be  Immediately transferred to Chief of Staff Matsuda in Xinjing.

    Ever since, it hasn¡¯t even been half an hour yet.  Both ends of the corridor were crowded with people holding telegraphs.  The anxious-looking Kwantung Army officers, especially a major in person, were even more anxious. His telegram was the most urgent. It was the Kwantung Army troops in the direction of Liaoxi. They failed to break through and were not supported by the Meizu Headquarters troops.  After being unable to contact His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.  Sent to the Kwantung Army headquarters, asking for instructions on what to do next!

    Another person who was anxious was a lieutenant general. He held four or five telegrams in his hand, all of which were sent by Lieutenant General Shimizu Chikayama, the Harbin garrison commander of the Kwantung Army. He sent the first emergency telegram to the headquarters since then.  after.  There was no reply, but the two independent divisions advancing from the north to the south continued to advance rapidly regardless of whether they received orders from the headquarters or not!

    Especially the independent division cavalry troops coming from the direction of Zhaozhou and Zhaoyuan were like a whirlwind, blowing through Zhaozhou, Zhaoyuan, Maoxing, Toutai and other places.  Wherever they went, they fought fiercely, more aggressively than Red Beard, and defeated the local Kwantung Army garrison and Manchukuo garrison. They were defeated and suffered heavy losses.  Although the independent division troops coming from the north did not fight.  But there were hundreds of thousands of mechanized troops, and they were pressing in with a black pressure. The local garrison of the Kwantung Army and the Manchukuo garrison along the way did not dare to parry.

    With Harbin as the center and surrounding the surrounding areas, there were wars and emergencies everywhere. Telegrams flew into the hands of General Qingshui like snowflakes, all of them calling for reinforcements and asking for instructions on how to respond. Qingshui, who had been serving as the peace officer in Harbin,  Lieutenant General, I have seen this kind of formation there, and there really is nothing I can do. I have to send one telegram after another to the Kwantung Army headquarters. The contents are more serious every time. There is a big trend that Harbin will not be protected within two or three days.  !

    According to the requirements of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, such a telegram did not dare to be delayed at all. It must be delivered to the hands of the highest commander immediately. Delaying the military plane would lead to loss of head. The staff officers in charge of the telegram did not dare to neglect it. They almost  He was about to fly over, but when he arrived in front of the office of the Chief of General Staff, he was blocked by several guards!

    Seeing that more than an hour had passed, the door to Chief of Staff Matsuda's office was still closed. However, judging from the light, the Chief of General Staff was still in the office. The staff just didn't understand why the Chief of Staff was still in the office.  Did you just stay behind closed doors?

    There were a few staff officers who were impatient, and the telegram in their hands was very important, so they didn't dare to delay. They couldn't control their anger, and they wanted to break into Chief of Staff Matsuda's office with filthy curses, "Baga! Xiaoxiao  Commander Cao, how dare you block the way of the commander?" "Asshole, get out of the way immediately. I have important military matters to report to the Chief of Staff. Can you afford it if I'm delayed?" "Go away, I don't know.  Sir, do you need these telegrams?"

    There were dozens of staff officers, all chattering and squeezing in sideways. The guards who received the death order were all personal guards of the Kwantung Army headquarters. Da Guan'er had seen a lot, but he didn't recognize anyone, so what do you care?  Majors and lieutenants, as long as they were not the Chief of Staff himself, would not let them pass. They hit the staff with the butts of their rifles, causing them to scream in agony. The corridor became a mess, as if there had been a mutiny.

    It was a messy scene, but the captain of the guard was furious. Although these officers did not break into the office, the noise in the corridor would also affect the mood of the Chief of General Staff. That was his dereliction of duty, so,Some idiot captains of the guard said, "Swipe!" and pulled out the command knife from his waist, "If you continue to pester, make loud noises, and affect the Chief of General Staff, you will die!"

    Well, all the staff officers know that the guard captain at the headquarters is a fool, and he doesn't recognize his relatives. He usually only sees Commander-in-Chief Umezu, but now, he only sees Chief-of-Staff Matsuda. When he sees this man, he has a big body and a round waist, and a face full of flesh.  His eyes were gleaming fiercely, and he was about to use a knife. If he had a big disagreement, he would chop down a few people!

    I couldn't afford to offend you, so the staff members uttered a few harsh words, "Just wait. When I see the Chief of General Staff, I will sue you and threaten the commander!" "Emergency military affairs, because you were delayed, just wait."  Accept the punishment!" Then he left angrily.

    More than four hours later, Chief of Staff Matsuda, who had been waiting for him for a long time, finally walked out of the office door, holding a thick stack of telegraph newspapers in his hand. His face was very haggard, his expression was tired and dazed, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion all around.  For more than an hour, as if he had worked hard, he waved over the guard captain and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Immediately arrange for the guards to be on guard in the confidential communications room. No one is allowed to approach!"

    The anxious staff officers heard that the Chief of General Staff had finally left the office door, and they were about to gather around him. However, they were chased away by the guards again. They felt so anxious and angry.  I can't figure it out, what's wrong with the Chief of General Staff?

    Lieutenant General Matsuda personally guarded the confidential communications room. The radio station that contacted the general staff of the base camp kept ticking for a long time before Lieutenant General Matsuda appeared in front of the staff as if he had finished a marathon and just said  He said one sentence, "I know what urgent military affairs you are about to report. Let's go back to our respective posts first, call back the telegraphed troops, stick to our respective defense zones, and wait patiently. There will be new instructions from the base camp soon!  "

    After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the confidential communications room, leaving behind a large group of staff officers looking at each other. They looked at the stack of telegrams in their hands and dispersed with different expressions. However, judging from the look on Chief Matsuda's face and  There seemed to be a hint of ominousness in his tone!

    In Tokyo in July, the sun is blazing. At night, the heat has not dissipated much. There is a depressing heat everywhere. The consequences of several years of foreign wars have gradually been reflected. At night in Tokyo, there is a lot less feasting and dissipation.  It smells like depression.

    General Miuchi Yoneuchi, Minister of the Japanese Army and Acting Chief of General Staff of the base camp, had just returned to his residence, exhausted both physically and mentally. His mood was not much better than this sultry night. The imperial military meeting that had just ended seemed to have exhausted all his energy.  energy.

    Since Prince Zain, the Chief of the General Staff of the Base Camp, has been stationed in the Far East region as the commander of the Far East Expedition Force of the Empire of Japan and commanded operations, he has received the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and stuffed the throne of the Chief of the General Staff of the Base Camp under his butt.  , he has mastered the two major systems of the Imperial Army's military affairs and military orders, and has become the veritable number one in the Imperial Army. However, General Minai knows that this job is not easy to do. He seems to be in a high position, but he knows the pain.  Whether it is the Minister of War or the Chief of General Staff of the base camp, both thrones are hot on the buttocks!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Empire of Japan¡¯s innate sequelae of lack of resources and insufficient war potential have begun to appear. From the empire¡¯s financial resources to military resources, to the exhaustion of the potential of its soldiers, the empire has reached an unsustainable level.

    In the south, the Australian battlefield in the Pacific has been fought for more than two years. There is no possibility of ending in the short term. The Australian battlefield is where the empire¡¯s military power and resources are invested the most, but the overall situation is still for  Favorable to the Imperial Army!

    General Juichi Terauchi, the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, commanded more than 600,000 soldiers and suppressed more than 800,000 Allied soldiers in the southeastern part of Australia. He took the initiative to attack and gained the initiative on the battlefield.  But it will still take quite a long time before the war in Australia ends.

    In the Eastern Pacific, the Combined Fleet commanded by Lieutenant General Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander of the Imperial Navy's Combined Fleet, was locked in a fierce battle with the newly formed Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Army. However, according to the Admiralty Minister who had never bought his own account,  That guy Koshiro Yoshikawa said, "Yamamoto is good. He has beaten the U.S. Pacific Fleet to several ports on the west coast of the United States, and it is so easy to dare not go to war!"

    Although he has always had trouble dealing with Navy Minister Koshiro Yoshikawa, Admiral Yonai still believes in his words and the ability and strength of the Imperial Japanese Navy. He also admires Yamamoto Isoroku, who is a member of the naval system.  He is the only senior naval general in the country who can get along very happily with the general staff of the base camp. He has such ability!

    ??The Australian battlefield and the Eastern Pacific naval battle battlefield have two land and sea generals, Yamamoto Isoroku and Terauchi Juichi.? Worry, only in the battlefields of the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria, there is that China devil Tang Qiuli.  .  .  .  .  .  Thinking of this, General Minai, who was already depressed, became more and more irritable.
